Hotel actress Simoné Pretorius recently took to Instagram thanking the Innibos Festival for the debut opportunity of a theatre production called Wat as, which she played in with fellow actors, Francois Jacobs (whom she starred with in the film, Vir die Voëls) and Adriaan van As.

“I’m going off as if it were a Broadway show,” she writes, “but the photos were so beautiful and sometimes one must stand still and reflect, build memorials, say thank you. Life is too short to just post selfies.”  

This follows a long post about her husband often reminding her that she is incredibly privileged to do what she loves for a living and that she can say that what she does makes her feel alive, that it’s a vehicle of provision, that it gives her purpose and satisfies so many desires of her heart.

“I truly am,” says Simoné. “I live in utmost gratitude.”
